Split PDF

Extract chosen pages from a PDF, or split it into several files or single pages. Done in your browser with no upload.

Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded.

What it does

Take pages out of a PDF: one chapter from a long document, a single page from a statement, or every page as its own file.

How to use it

  1. Choose a PDF. The number of pages is shown.
  2. Type the pages you want, using commas and hyphens: 1-3, 5, 8-10.
  3. Choose whether to get one PDF, one per range, or one per page.
  4. Press Split and download the results.

Worked example

For a 12-page PDF, entering 1-3, 5, 8-10 gives a 7-page PDF as one file, or three files (pages 1 to 3, page 5, pages 8 to 10) with one per range.

How it works

The chosen pages are copied into new PDF files with pdf-lib. Pages are copied unchanged, in the order you list them, so you can also use this to reorder pages: 3, 1, 2 puts page 3 first.

Questions

Is my file uploaded?

No. The file is opened by your browser on your own device and the result is made there. Nothing is sent to us or to anyone else.

Can I repeat or reorder pages?

Yes. Pages come out in the order you type them, and a page may be listed more than once.

Why is a one-page file nearly as large as the original?

Shared items such as fonts are copied into each new file. The parts cannot be much smaller than what the page needs.

Can it split a password-protected PDF?

No. Remove the password first.
